Yeah, Headmans..

What have I done?

jack stands, lots of swearing and wishing it was a TH400, beer drinking, more swearing, more wishing it was a TH400 and finaly back to beer drinking...

I will try your guys ideas this weekend, I still see it being a beioch to adjust the cable even after I get it apart and back togethe...

From what I could see witch aint much, it looks like the kickdown is on top of the shift arm??

anyone got a pick of where their cable goes through the tunnel? I may end up just opening a big hole for the cable any way as last time I did one of these where the cable turns down is kinda importan and has to be just right...

On a separate note how do I remove the colum shift lever once I get past all the above issues?

Thanks again!

Yep, the kickdown lever is on top so it has to come off first.
Both bolt heads are on the rear of the car side if that helps any.
Sacrificing a 7/16 box end wrench is kinda worth it, and totally worth it if you have more than one.

My shifter is a Hurst pro ratshit and the cable goes through the tunnel where it naturally wants too. (no bends or curves)
Then the cable goes up towards the front of the car gradually going to the drivers side of the engine.
It loops up along the side of the block and then down and back to the trans pan rail.
Make sure you tie it away from headers or pipes so it doesn't get burned.
(Those aluminum chain link fence ties work great because heat doesn't bother them if they are close to something hot)
They are about 4-5 inches long and made of soft aluminum that can pretty much be bent with your fingers.

In this pic it shows the shift lever bolt towards the front of the car.
